----------------------- Read on ao3 ---------------------

Although it was a sunny spring day, no light penetrated the blackness beyond the opening in the hillside. Crowley couldn’t take his eyes from it. The sun shone hot on his back, but he shivered, like the cold had crept from the darkness, across the grass, and under his cloak.

He was dimly aware of the crowd behind him, but they were muffled, as though underwater. The shine of their jewelry and bright colors of their festival clothes blurred together like someone had dropped a rock in a pool.

The priestess draped a garland of flowers over his head and around his shoulders, singing a song to Freyja as she worked. The crowd sang back, but Crowley found himself unable to open his mouth.

Humans were frail, flawed creatures. Full of greed and sin. Junmyeon had never harboured any love for them. Until the war came and suddenly, humans did not seem so bad after all.

"Lou, I know this-"

"Not plan? Of course, this wasn't planned. Harry, this can't be happening. We can't have a kid. We are not even supposed to be sleeping together."

Harry flinched at Louis' words. He was right, but Louis didn't need to be blunt about it.

"I'm not ready to have kids. I said that when we started this… Relationship," Louis stuttered the last word, trying to find the proper wording.

"Do you think I am? I'm not even twenty-four. You are almost twenty-nine! You're at the age where most people start a family."

"Doesn't mean I want to have one!" Louis snapped.

"Well, it's happening," Harry said, trying to keep his voice calm.

"Be serious, Harry. We can't have a baby. If people find out, you'll be fired."

Harry subconsciously wrapped his arms around his middle. He suddenly felt small. He didn't expect Louis to be excited. This wasn't the best news for their situation, but he thought he'd be happy.

"I know, Louis."

Or Louis is the Captian of Liverpool FC and Harry is one of the team's physiotherapists. They have a secret relationship going but things become complicated when Harry finds out he's pregnant.

Camp Infinity is the perfect place for a lot of things; hiking, swimming, sports, eating, and falling in love. Harry Styles is a bit too familiar with the last one from his years of being a camper. This year things will be different. He’s 21, a grown man now, and ready to see Camp Infinity from a different point of view; working as a lifeguard. However, his whole summer turns upside down when a familiar British lad makes his return into Harry's life.

Or the one where Harry is a lifeguard and Louis is the head of recreation. And, sometimes, you just need a little push to realize what was right in front of you the whole time.

Today's featured fic is "Just Another Ox Rib" by badwolfgirlicouldkissyou

----------------------- Read on ao3 ---------------------

The apartment Crowley had chosen as his residence was not what Aziraphale had expected, if he’d actually expected anything at all. Being as close to the emperor as he had been, able to whisper whatever evils Hell had cooked up, the angel had rather assumed that the demon would be in some fancy domus just as he was, with plentiful space and a brilliant courtyard in which to sunbathe and sleep. As it were, Crowley had led Aziraphale through an Insula, stopping at a ground floor thermopolium in order to purchase the oysters (with a quick apology to the angel for not taking him to Petronius’s restaurant), and then up many crumbling stone stairs until finally reaching a small two-roomed residence. Inside, the furniture was as basic as it could get, and they had to sit on the cold floor cross-legged with the platter of seafood and a jug of drink between them. They each filled their glasses before clinking them together.
